Any deals for parking at the lots owned by the airport ? I find it easier to take monorail over. Unless park and fly is tons cheaper ?

I saw a van for park4less a new entrant but read reviews they overbook and you have to leave your key with them. Also selling on Groupon but noticed it's a gravel lot and tiny spaces.


Anyone got a new park.n.fly code?

Quick pickup, clean shuttle, courteous and helpful driver and good price. Both times it was for longer trips (2 weeks+) and the pricing was very straightforward - no hunting for discount codes or coupons.

I have used them three times and will likely again later this month. Great service and great deal.

I did reserve online once and they tried to charge me a different price on arrival. I showed them my print out from my online reservation and they corrected the price, no issue.

Do you have to leave your keys with them?

I read several horrible reviews online on akypar last year, so I've been parking at the Pearson value park Garage. Sounds like Skypark got their act together.

Looked up Skypark but their quoted rate for 3 days while we're in LAS turns out to be higher than Park-n-Fly

3 Day/s
Parking $35.85
HST (13%) $4.66
Total $40.51

For Park N Fly, whats the difference between "Self Park" and "Economy" ? Seems to me you still park yourself... ?

i think the lot distance from the airport. Economy is the furthest.

Do the shuttles go directly to each lot respectively? Or does Economy lot, pass by Self Park, and than to Valet? Thus taking a lot longer?

In my experience every shuttle goes to Valet first regardless of what it says on the signage providing at least one rider requests it. That makes sense considering that Valet customers pay a premium and also because the Valet lot is closest to the airport.

I believe they usually drive thru all lots and Economy is the last one. Cost difference is around $10-20 for a week of parking.

Skyway Park is usually the cheapest.

I have used them several times and prefer it to Park N Fly.

The shuttles come often.

I just booked for this Friday, 9 days for $77 taxes in.

Skypark was $95, Park N Fly was $93 for Economy.

The Daily Park promo is over but it was the most expensive of all even after the discount.

I've tried many of those parking places in previous years, checking every web site and using the cheapest one every time. Sometimes you have a long wait for a shuttle bus, sometimes it's not the best location, but that was kinda okay considering savings...
Switched to ParkNFly couple of years ago after one trip, when I realized on arriving into one of those discounted places that the parking area is poorly lit, almost not protected and doesn't really have decent gates/fence. You don't always pay attention to details like this, but that time it was especially obvious.
My car was sitting lonely in the middle of nowhere, looked so vulnerable :( Never again I says :)
From now on I would do the internet search for the ParkNFly discount codes from travel agencies etc, and the total price is pretty close to the competitors, but with better shuttle and safety options.

I'll never understand trying to save $20 or $30 on parking when going on a multi-hundred or multi-thousand dollar vacation. Put it in a nice secure garage, walk into the terminal, enjoy your vacation. No buses, no schlepping luggage off and on carts and shelves, and coming back to a cold, snow-covered car in the winter.

It depends on the length of stay. PnF Valet charges ~$150 for up to a month if you use a coupon that's easily found on the web. The cheapest Toronto Pearson (so-called "Value") lot charges $95 per week. Do the math.

We normally travel for 3 to 4 weeks at a time so it's a no-brainer to use PnF Valet.

And even Toronto Pearson's (so-called "Value") lot requires "Free Terminal Link train ride to terminals" so you still have to schlepp luggage, is outside so you have to deal with weather, etc.

But yeah, if you're going for only a day or two, the covered lots right at the terminals may be worth the extra cost.
